Is it possible load custom part of config from file and automatically load other part of config from classpath, placed inside jar?

I have command line apllication written on java with spring 2.5.6 framework.
Config of apllication consist from 2 parts:

bigApplicationContext has references to some beans from customConfig.

I placed bigApplicationContext and default customConfig inside jar. Configs loaded by ClassPathXmlApplicationContext. It’s OK

Troubles goes when I want provide additional command line option for my application –pathToCustomConfig

I want to load custom part of config from file and automatically load other part of config from bigApplicationContext, placed inside jar.

Is it possible? Now I have

Configuration problem: Failed to import bean definitions from relative
location
